DCI Newsletter Issue #1 - Q4 2018

Hello,

Welcome to the first quarterly newsletter from MIT Media Lab’s Digital Currency Initiative. I’m Neha, the Director of the DCI. The DCI was founded at MIT in 2015 and our mission is to empower individuals by making it as fast and easy to move value across the world as it is to move information. We want to work on technology that helps people take control of their own destinies and data, and create a more open and fair financial system.

We see our mission as mostly aligned with the greater cryptocurrency ecosystem. However, we think the DCI plays a very specific role within that ecosystem in researching, educating, and convening for the public good. Here’s an update on each of those fronts. If you have any feedback we would love to hear from you! We also invite you to follow us @mitDCI on Twitter for more regular updates.

P.S. We hope this is the start of a more communicative relationship, but if you don’t want that, please unsubscribe at the bottom!
